Reliability Analysis of Hybrid System Using Geometric Process in Multiple Level of Constant Stress Accelerated Life Test through Simulation Study for Type-II Progressive Censored Masked Data

Algorithm 1

(1)Step 1: initialize the values of parameters , and .
(2)Step 2: define the stress levels , .
(3)Step 3: using the uniform (0, 1) distribution, generate TIIPC samples of size following the procedure given by Balakrishnan and Sandhu [35].
(4)Step 4: for each sample size and removed items, TIIPC sample data for each stress level using based on the TIIPC data generated in step 3.
(5)Step 5: for each censoring scheme and stress levels, repeat the above steps for 10000 times.
(6)Step 6: compute the average MLEs of , and with their respective RABs and RMSEs.
(7)Step 7: compute ILs and CPs of ACIs.
(8)Step 8: compute the reliability estimates with RABs, RMSEs, lengths, and CPs using the MLEs of , and . obtained in previous step 6.
